I count myself very lucky to have been invited to take photographs of the TYKES as they prepare for their Armadadrama performances on the beach, near the pier (yes, on the beach) this weekend.
The TYKES, aged 7 to 17 are directed by Leigh Toney.
Armadadrama composer David Haines is the Musical Director.
Enjoy, with me, our first peep behind the scenes.
